15 3 DESIGN This section describes the general design of the Optipay A-66 Coin Changer and the various components within it important to operating the device. The following items will be discussed: Return lever, keypad, indicator lights, interfaces, DIP Switch block, product labels Tube cassette, pay out set, and filling level sensors Device Overview Optipay CC A-66 Coin Changer Section 3 The Coin Validator Coins inserted into the Coin Validator (3) (See Figure 3-1 ) pass through the Coin Insertion Funnel (11) into the validation area of the device. Here the coin s properties are compared with the values contained in the stored in memory. Rejected coins are routed to the Vending Machine's return cup. In the event of a sale, accepted coins are either directed to one the four cassette tubes (6) or into the Cash Box below them. Figure 3-1 A-66 Features 3-1

16 Section 3 Optipay CC Design Return Lever The Return Lever (See Figure 3-1 [1]) on the top of the Coin Validator is operated by using the Vending Machine s Return Button. The Return Lever is used to return coins or clear jams. When pushed, the fly deck opens so that all objects within the Coin Validator are directed to the return cup. (See Figure 3-1 ). Keypad The front of the Coin Validator is equipped with a five key touch-sensitive Keypad (See Figure 3-1 [4]) which is used to dispense coins from an individual tube and to perform filling procedures to increase coin inventory before the unit is placed into operation (See Section 4 "Functions" and Section 7 "Operation" for further information). Indicator Lights There are three Light-Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lights on the front of the Coin Validator positioned beneath one another colored Green, Yellow, and Red, respectively (See Figure 3-1 [9]). These lights are mainly used for quick diagnostics, and current status indication (See Figure 3-1 ). If the top Green LED lights or flashes, no faults are indicated and the device is working properly. If the middle Yellow LED flashes there is a definite general fault indicated that can usually be easily repaired. If the bottom Red LED flashes, a fault that must be remedied by a service technician is indicated (also see the Section 14 "Troubleshooting" appendix). Interfaces There is a 40-Pin Dual Inline connector on the back of the Coin Validator module (See Figure 3-2 [12]). This module connects with the main chassis by means of a flat ribbon cable. On the top right front of the Coin Validator there is an 8-pin RJ-45 receptacle jack (See Figure 3-1 [2]). It allows the Coin Changer to be connected to a Palm Pilot handheld device for configuration purposes. On the left side of the Coin Validator there is a direct 5-Pin Printed Circuit Board (PCB) edge connector (See Figure 3-2 [11]) which previously allowed the Coin Validator to be connected to a programming PC or a JCM Test Station. Figure 3-2 Coin Validator s Rear Side DIP Switch Block Individual settings for inhibiting various coin types can be easily made by selecting the proper switches on the 10-position DIP Switch Block located on the back of the Validator Module (See Figure 3-2 (13) as well as Section 7 "Operation" for detailed user information). Figure 3-3 Coin Validator Removal 3-2

Device part number The Payout Unit The Payout Unit consists of the four tube cassette and the payout set. The device is equipped with filling level sensors and tube counters to monitor each tubes inventory. Tube Cassette The Tube Cassette (See Figure 3-1 [6] and Figure 3-6 [1]) incorporates four change tubes with different diameters for coin storage. These coins are available for change. A sticker located at the top of the cassette identifies the coin denomination for each tube. The tube coin storage capacity depends on the thickness of each coin type (example: approximately 87 U.S. 25 coins can fill a tube), See Table 3-3 for a listing of the U.S. coin values and quantities allowed per tube. Table 3-3 U.S. Coin Cassette Capacity Coin Value Thick -ness (cm) N o. of 100% Sensor Level 75% Figure 3-5 Coin Validator Front Label The Coin Validator tests whether an accepted coin should be sorted into one of the four tubes, or be directed to the Cash Box according to customer programming. If at any time another combination of tube coins is required, the appropriate cassette can be ordered 3-3

18 Section 3 Optipay CC Design from JCM and simply exchanged in the assembly (See Figure 3-6 [1]). Firmware may require an upgrade depending on the cassette configuration. This can be accomplished in the field with the use of a Palm Pilot handheld device containing the appropriate application software. Figure 3-6 Tube Cassette Removal/Replacement Payout Module Change is dispensed by two motors installed at the bottom of the Payout Set (See Figure 3-1 [7]). The left motor is responsible for dispensing coins from the left Tube L (5) and middle left Tube ML (4) coin tubes, and the right motor is responsible for dispensing coins from the right Tube R (2) and middle right Tube MR (3) coin tubes. Filling Level Sensors The coin level in each tube is monitored by four sets of independent sensors: An empty sensor is positioned at the height of 8 to 10 coins A 50% sensor is located approximately half way up the cassette A 75% sensor is located near the top A full sensor is positioned at the top rim of each tube. In order for the tube counters to work correctly, the tubes have to be filled by inserting coins through the Coin Validator. If the cassette is removed to fill or remove coins from it, the coin count recorded by the counters would be inaccurate. In this case, the Coin Changer uses the coin thickness and level sensors to recalculate the correct amount of coins in the tubes. If a tubes "full" sensor displays the message "Tube Full", all further coins for this tube will be automatically directed to the Cash Box. Only when coins have been dispensed again from this tube, will more coins be allowed into the tube. MDB Harness The MDB Harness (See Figure 3-1 [10]) is installed at the top left corner of Coin Changer. For details on how to install the Coin Changer into a Vending Machine, see Section 5 "Installation". 3-4

19 4 FUNCTIONS This section describes the main functions of the Optipay CC A-66 Coin Changer with particular emphasis on: Filling and emptying the change tubes Configuring the maximum change tube coins Security stock considerations Coin inhibits Disabling the inventory keys Configuring tokens Tube counter automatic correction Resetting the tube counter Accepting and converting a second currency (optional) Minimizing Coin-on-a-String Manipulation (optional) If adjustable functions require changing, see Section 7 "Operation" for direct Coin Changer adjustments, and Section 11 "Configuration" for using the configuration tools to reset them. Filling and Emptying Change Tubes The simplest and quickest way to fill and empty the tubes is to remove the cassette (See Figure 4-1 ). Figure 4-1 Tube Cassette Removal This allows for coin sorting or the removal of several coins at once. Optipay CC A-66 Coin Changer Section 4 If the correct number of coins is required for accurate coin management, the tubes can be filled by inserting coins into the Coin Validator one at a time. The tube counter registers every coin inserted or paid out (see Section 6 "Energizing" and Section 7 "Operation"). The tubes can also be emptied using a Palm Pilot handheld containing the Palm A66 US software (see Section 11 "Configuration"). Coins can be dispensed individually, (e.g. for test purposes), consecutively for inventory purposes, prior to transporting the device. If the tubes have to be filled or emptied to a certain level, a float level can be configured (see Section 11 "Configuration"). This filling level guarantees that a known number of coins is present for accounting purposes. If the float level function is activated, Cash Box coins will not be accepted. Configuring the Maximum Change Tube Coins The Coin Changer can be configured so each tube will accept a maximum number of coins. When this number is reached, all subsequent coins for that tube will be automatically directed to the Cash Box. Only when coins have been dispensed from this tube, will more coins be allowed to enter it. (See Section 11 "Configuration"). If this function is unused, the full sensor located at the top of the tube determines when the coins will be directed into the Cash Box and no longer into the coin tube, regardless of the number of coins inserted. Security Stock Considerations If a coin security stock is configured for the individual tubes, the Coin Changer will not vend a minimum number of tube coins. The security stock can be set between 1 and 9 coins. It should be set higher for coins which have stacking problems. The Coin Changer can also be configured in such a way that the security stock can be paid out of the Vending Machine, or the security stock can be delivered to the Vending Machine, when the machine polls the capacity level used to make change (see Section 11 "Configuration"). 4-1

20 Section 4 Optipay CC Functions Coin Inhibits Coins types can be inhibited directly by setting specific DIP Switches on the rear DIP Switch Block located on the backside of the Validator Module (See Chapter 7 "Operation"), or by applying the PC software by means of the Palm Pilot handheld (see Section 11 "Configuration"). Disabling the Inventory Keys The inventory keys constitute a part of the Coin Changer s front Keypad: (e.g., keys,, and ). These keys allow the dispensing of one, several or all coins from the corresponding Left, Middle Left, Middle Right and Right change tubes. Should operation of these keys no longer be desired, they can be inhibited, or configured in such a way that they can be enabled by Vending Machine s controller (see Section 11 "Configuration"). Configuring Tokens The Coin Changer contains three dedicated coin channels for configuring three different types of tokens. Therefore, a new token s measured value can be directly assigned to a coin channel on the Vending Machine by inserting the corresponding tokens into it. This operation can be done at the machine, using the Palm Pilot and the Palm A-66 US application. The acceptance band generated will then accept these tokens for payment within the Vending Machine. In addition, you can choose between a normal and wide acceptance band for the configured tokens. However, a wide acceptance band should only be set if a limited number of the tokens are available for generating the token s value measurement, or if the tokens show very large tolerance values. Otherwise, there is the danger that a large number of false coins will be accepted. Tokens can either be configured so the customer gets his selected product free of charge (free vend tokens), or configured to assign a certain set denomination or credit a value (value tokens). The Coin Changer can either direct the accepted tokens to the cash-box or send them back to the customer in the return tray. Chapter 11 "Configuration" describes which configuration tool is required to configure tokens. Sending the Telephone/Currency Code to the Vending Machine Controller Depending on which state or country the machine is installed, a telephoned currency code can be remotely sent to the Vending Machine control and set into the Coin Changer (e.g. for setting menu and display text). For more details on how to change the pre-programmed telephone/currency code, please see Section 11 "Configuration". Tube Counter Automatic Correction Usually after every coin acceptance and pay out, the Coin Changer compares the tube counter status and the sensor s measured fill level, and, if necessary, corrects the tube counter data. If the Vending Machine s controller is unable to process the automatic tube counter correction, the Coin Changer can be set so that the tube count will not be automatically corrected (see Section 11 "Configuration"). Resetting the Tube Counter When needed, the tube counters can be reset using the Palm Pilot or can be reset manually. Manual reset consists of pressing individual dispense keys for 5 dispense cycles and allowing the payout action to stop by itself. After this operation is complete for all 4 tubes, the coin inventory build up procedure must be performed. Resetting counters using the Palm Pilot is discussed in Section 12. Accepting and Converting a Second Currency (optional) If the Coin Changer needs to accept two currency types, the second currency value can be converted to the main currency value using a set exchange rate. The second currency value is rounded up or down respectively in such a way that it can be managed by the main currency counter. Chapter 11 "Configuration" describes which configuration tool is used to program a second currency. Minimizing Coin-on-a-String Manipulation (optional) The Coin Changer can be optionally equipped with a String Sensor. This device recognizes coins inserted that are connected to a string and prevents this type of coin from being accepted. By recogniz- 4-2

21 Functions Optipay CC Section 4 ing this security condition these coin types will not generate a credit value. For this type of fraud attempt, a credit will not be issued. The sensitivity of the String Sensor can be individually set for each unit is adjustable (see Section 11 "Configuration"). Following a string manipulation attempt it is possible to reject the next 100 tube coins inserted by directing them to the Cash Box instead of the coin tubes. Coins directed to the Cash Box are less prone to manipulation, so further attempts at string manipulation will obviously fail (see Section 11 "Configuration"). 4-3

57 A TROUBLESHOOTING If a Coin Changer occurrence fault occurs, the pilot lights at the top of the Coin Validator will indicate the fault s location. The following JCM diagnostic service tools are available to detail diagnose the fault s cause (see the "Diagnosis Using the Setting Module" area in this appendix, as well as the in related information located in sections 1 and 11 of this manual). Front Panel LED Indicators Quick Pilot Light Diagnosis Optipay CC A-66 Coin Changer Appendix A If the Green LED at the top of the Coin Validator is lit or is flashing, no faults are indicated and the device is working properly (See Figure A-1). If the Yellow LED in the middle of the Coin Validator flashes there is a definite fault which generally can be easily remedied. If the Red LED at the bottom of the Coin Validator flashes, a fault that must be remedied by a service technician is probable. The label at the top of the Coin Validator may help in locating the fault and Table A-1 lists their meanings.
